2022 Copenhagen Fellows

i

Join us for three weeks in Copenhagen, as we dive into the complex issues of Climate Change, Human Rights, and Democracies in Crisis


In 2024 the Copenhagen Fellowship explores issues of Climate Change, Human Rights, and Democracies in Crisis

How do we ensure democracy and human rights in a world of crisis and upheaval? How do we avoid losing sight of climate change in the midst of all the present crises of the world today? And how do we avoid action turning into apathy?

The 2024 the Copenhagen Fellowship will focus on climate change, democracy and human rights in a world in crisis, and explore how we can strengthen active citizenship and inspire continued action.

Become part of a challenging, diverse and inspiring network of change makers

Through workshops, discussions and presentations by experts, politicians, NGOs, activists and other actors in these fields, the purpose of this Fellowship is to equip Fellows with knowledge of how to engage with society’s greatest challenges of today,
and to explore concrete ways of action.

What is the Fellowship?

The Humanity in Action Fellowships are rich, intense, challenging and deeply rewarding learning environments, where you, as a Fellow, spend 2-4 weeks with about 25 peers from around the world emerging yourself in topics of social justice, democracy, and human rights.

Humanity in Action offers several Fellowships each year in June in different cities in Europe and in the US.

Fellowships offered in 2024:

The Amsterdam Fellowship | June 3 – June 21, 20024
The Sarajevo Fellowship | June 3 – June 28, 2024 (hybrid)
The Berlin Fellowship | June 3 – June 21, 2024
The Warsaw Fellowship | June 3 – June 21, 2024

What We Offer

Participation in our Fellowships are free of charge

Our program offers you a unique opportunity to study and learn with an international group of (future) change makers. And to connect with our global network of Senior Fellows, who have already initated change.

The program provides a country and context-specific curriculum that examines historical and contemporary challenges to human rights, pluralism and equality. The topics are illuminated by a wide range of experts, workshops, site visits, Fellow presentations and discussions.

After the Fellowship, Fellows embark on developing civil society initiatives in their own communities, the Action Projects. The Fellowship comes with an ongoing virtual training program from August 2024 to May 2025.
